Headlight Bulb Replacement
Properly Adjusted LED Lights.
The high end LED Lights like the GTR's and Morimoto's have to be adjusted properly so as to not have the beam pattern shine up blinding other drivers.
The Lights I pictured in my posting are
NON-ADJUSTABLE.
They install just like a Halogen bulb. Insert into the 3 tabs. Button everything up and you're ready to go. The beam pattern is exactly the same as a Halogen bulb. But alot brighter than a Halogen.

No LED retrofit "bulb" will perfectly emulate a halogen bulb, requiring each application's needs be considered individually. A given product's lack of LED rotation just means that product can't be used on applications that need rotation.
You LED light haters make us Halogen to LED light guys the bad guys on the road.
All I want is brighter lights to see better at night when I drive. My intent was never to blind other car drivers going in the opposite direction.
Halogen to LED light bulb conversions are here to stay. You'll have to deal with it for a "New York Minute" driving the opposite way.

I have really good night vision, the blue whites are uncomfortable and as I have gotten older they hit me harder.. Good grade halogens light correctly and are every bit as good as any sub 400 dollar led conversion. (They make real ones that work! But yea they cost real money.)
I had a Subaru behind me yesterday in the daytime. The driver's side light was pointed up high, but the other headlight was pointed down at the road. I find myself switching my rearview mirror to nighttime very often. When even that is too bright, I move the mirror up a bit, so I see nothing behind me. Great way to drive. 😳
Before I did the swap, I had marked the hot spot with tape on a wall so I could see the difference with the new bulb.
I'll Say It Again So You Understand.
They all do. Halogen filaments emit light on an almost 360° arc (there's a tiny shadow from the wire that supports the outer end of the filament) while most lens-less LED emitters cover a ~120° arc. They often emit light beyond that arc, but the intensity falls off quickly. Putting those LEDs on both sides of a metal-core circuit board gets you 2/3 of the way there, but you're still going to have two 60° shadows aligned with the circuit board plane. A 3-sided structure would solve the coverage problem, but creates a new one: the structure would be too big to emulate a halogen filament. Even if you had a miracle cooling solution that let you mount the LED packages edge-to-edge in a triangular prism, they would still be pushed out from the filament location.

The LED lights install just like Sylvania Silverstar Halogen bulbs. They fit right into the 3 tabs of the back of the headlight housing. The LED light pattern is EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE HALOGEN BULBS!!!!!! The LED lights don't impeded drivers going in the opposing direction of traffic.
The LED lights I have on my 2015 Honda Fit are NON ADJUSTABLE!!!!!

The hot spot changed on one of my bulbs so I adjusted it downward. It's very easy and quick to do
I Didn't Have To Adjust The Pitch Of The Light Housing.
